I see that many of the Schwer and Schwer Alike regulars aren't pleased about the contest's deadline being extended indefinitely. I'd like to make an official statement about this development on Mint's behalf since he has no way of doing so himself at the moment. I should note that the comment I made to the previous post was written before I knew what had happened, and I'm sorry to say that my speculation couldn't have been further off the mark.

Without going into too much detail, Mint has been hit with some serious financial and social problems - so much that it's actually impossible for him to update this blog himself or do anything related to the contest, the v1.06 patch, or even the everyday necessities that so many of us take for granted. I wish I could elaborate and give you all a better grasp of the situation, but this is a tough time for Mint and I feel I should at least try to respect his privacy. Considering the amount of unjustified drama that has visited this site in the past, we don't want to start something by letting our MVP go AWOL; Mint never intended for any of this to happen, and he very much wants to make this up to everyone once his life is under control. How, exactly, we have no way of knowing just yet.

I'd like to ask for your patience as Mint gets back on his feet. If I were a religious sort, I'd probably ask for you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. In any event, I'll be updating the blog in his stead as the situation changes; let's just hope that "no news" actually does mean "good news" this time.

Hey, everybody! It's your old pal Letty! Some crazy things happened, and now my access to the internet is somewhat limited. As a result, I have not been able to do much of anything in regards to this contest or anything else. I will return when things are back to normal, but until then, the contest deadline has been extended indefinitely until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience. You'll be seeing me again when my life is less hectic and a little more... energized.

Alright, so here's the deal. E-mails have been sent, messages have been received, and now we're good to go on the grand finale! Time for my big announcement!

In addition to Kiora's Rosenkreuzstilette Unofficial Afterstory doujinshi, the grand prize winner of this contest will also receive a special, personalized physical English copy of Rosenkreuzstilette ~The Blades of the Rose Cross~! That's right! What's more is that WOMI sent me a special [erka:es] logo specifically for the game case, so you'll be receiving a one-of-a-kind Schwer and Schwer Alike exclusive! Isn't that exciting!? I hope you think so!

The fan contest ends in about 5 days, so if you want this awesome piece of work, snap to it! I'm not sure when we'll be announcing winners, but I'll be keeping everyone posted. Good luck!

Site Introduction

Where in the world are you? I'm glad you asked! Welcome to Schwer and Schwer Alike, the main English blog site for all things Rosenkreuzstilette (RKS for short). RKS is a Mega Man clone doujin game created by [erka:es] and is a much-needed piece of work in a world where Capcom won't release Mega Man Universe or Legends 3.

Formerly a duo, [erka:es] is currently a one-man show run by WOMI, the series main artist. There's a link below to their main website, if you're so inclined, and if you're interested, you can try the game's English demo or purchase it at DLSite (link below)! The possibilities are endless!
